US

Our people are professionals, period. They have the experience, talent, commitment, compassion, and desire to constantly produce top quality outcomes. Everyone is a leader, client advocate, technical genius, and deeply tenured in all aspects of employee benefits.

Besides that, we all love animals (not so much javalinas): dogs, cats, and any creature that enjoys our baby talk to them.

Susan's dog, Juno, making herself comfortable.

How she gets to the store. Very fuel efficient.

With her husband, Mike and her son, Matt.

She loves to hang out with Mike...

and baby-talk to her dogs, Gigi, Joey, and Juno.

Mmm, vacation with Mike.

Merlin meets Lewis and Clarke’s guide (Susan threw Sacagawea out of the canoe). Please don’t tell her no, or can’t do because she won’t rest until it is yes and done. She’s the one that actually pulled the sword out of the stone. Find a way and if it doesn’t exist, make a way. Grab a brick and make a road. No and can’t are not options.

Mike loves to run...

and hike glacial mountain parks...

and play golf.

He also loves fly-fishing...

and dressing his dog, Juno, in Oregon Ducks gear.

Mmm, vacation with Susan.

Archimedes meets Gandhi. Calm, methodical, logical, reasonable, effective, deliberate. We think there may be a colorful super hero outfit under his business attire. One photo would satisfy our curiousity.

Judy's Vegas wedding, Spring 2011.

A world traveler! This was taken in Oregon...

Remember the Alamo? Judy does.

Here's proof of a trip to Maui.

This is from the British Virgin Islands (jealous?).

Judy is cool as a cucumber, dogged, determined, and always on target. We nicknamed her "Judy Gimme Jones" (now Baxter) because she has an amazing persuasive talent with the carrier markets. She is taking some magic potion that keeps her from aging and is too selfish to share.

Kurstin and her Brad.

She's pretending to be an angel.

Her adorable puppy, Cotton.

Kurstin is very active in the Hugh O'Brian Youth Organization.

She's maybe notsomuch an angel!

Kurstin is a dog with a bone. Ever hear of the velvet glove and the iron fist? She does it until it is DONE with the most amazing smile. Smart, fast, brilliant, and nice! Who is this woman??? She has such an incredible positive, idealistic attitude, don't be surprised to see a real, living unicorn in her office.

Kristan's dog, Willy, next to her snapdragons.

Turtles at Phoenix Zoo, where she volunteers.

She can grow water lillies in Arizona!

Hiking at Sitgreaves National Park.

Kristan's cat, Gracie.

Releasing an endangered Black Footed Ferret back into the wild.

MBA, SPHR, CCP…OMG! She is the Queen of the Alphabet behind her name. This one could be a human University with all of her credentials. A top notch HR professional, an operations genius, think of the ripples from rain on water. That's her brain. The thinking never ends and the implementation is done right, every time. If she could build houses, the construction or remodel would be in magazines. She probably can and is just being humble. (Or selfish!) Oh, and she steals animals (see pics).

A Pride and Joy of Morgan's.

Three more of them.

...from the best angle possible.

Morgan loves movies...

and hunting javelinas.

Morgan's Ducati. Jealous?

Searching for Bobby Fischer? Suspiciously quiet, a working machine, brilliant reporting, hilarious - one wonders what is really going on in our resident think tank's head. We don't care, his work is stellar. Who cares that he may be in witness protection? He works like a machine with a calm, cool head. Then, after work, off he goes into mystery land on his macho Ducati. Now, that's the way to hide.

Dan and his family.

We KNEW he was full of hot air!

Dan is... surfing spiders?

Petting a giant lizard!

Kaka Falls State Park?

The man of reason in a crazy benefit world. An unbelievable, competent professional. He knows it all, does it all. He is Dan the Man to us and to our clients. His "fix it" benefits belt is loaded and heavy and his tools are always razor sharp. This is Edward Scissorhands on steroids.

Cindy loves dogs...

cats...

and riding her horse, Hero, in South Mountain park.

Cindy runs marathons.

Cindy and her husband hiked the Grand Canyon, RIM TO RIM!

Cindy and her husband like to visit their son in cool Seattle.

Socrates meets Indiana Jones (Cindiana Jones?). Hitch a ride with Cindy to scale Everest and she doesn't even have to use oxygen. Scuba dives without a mask, leaps tall buildings in a single bound. Remember that over achiever in school? Yup, she's here, with us.

Ashley's dog Elliot - she comes into the office every once in awhile!

Ashley MADE that top she's wearing!

One of her cats, Ninja, rebelling against travel.

She and her husband are competetive dancers.

Two loves: her cat Bagheera and presents.

Chilling with Frank Sinatra. Or a wax sculpture.

"Ashley? Ashley? ASHLEY!" Get her out of her computer head and back to reality. Classically trained graphic designer, copywriter, promos and an over the top talent in Photoshopping. Check out our magnificent good looks in the bio section. Now, that is brilliant. Every time you walk into her office and say her name, you have to peel her off the ceiling because she startles like a cat. Not that we would do that on purpose, mind you...
